Re: Ultra 6018
Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Take the turntable off, and remove the little rubber wheel (jockey wheel). Watch out for tiny washers. Go round the edge of the wheel with medium grade wet-and-dry paper, making sure you do it evenly all round, then replace, and put one tiny drop of oil on the centre before replacing the circlip. Do not touch the jockey wheel with oily fingers, it must be scrupulously clean. Put a couple of drops on the motor shaft, where it comes out of the motor. Again, make sure no oil gets on the steps of the shaft.Clean the inside rim of the turntable with pure alcohol or white spirit, and replace. Try now, and if it has not cured the problem, get back to us. Barry |
